Tottenham Trigger Contract Extension for Captain Son Heung-Min

Tottenham Hotspur have exercised the option to extend captain Son Heung-Min's contract until 2026, securing his future at the club.

Tottenham Hotspur have secured a crucial extension to captain Son Heung-min's contract, exercising an option to keep the South Korean superstar at the club until 2026.

Since joining Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, Son has established himself as a legendary figure at the club. He has made an impressive 431 appearances, finding the back of the net 169 times - a tally that places him fourth on Tottenham's all-time goal-scoring list.

Tottenham Hotspur's club captain, Son, has an impressive track record, having shared the Premier League's Golden Boot award with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in the 2021/22 season after scoring 23 goals.

We are delighted to announce that we have exercised the option to extend Heung-Min Son’s contract, which will now run until the summer of 2026 🤍

In addition to his success at the club level, Son also serves as the captain of the South Korean national team, earning 131 caps and scoring 51 goals to date. His leadership and goal-scoring abilities have made him a vital player for both his club and country.

Despite his individual success, Son's current season has been marked by Tottenham's struggles, with the team sitting 12th in the Premier League table. Son has managed to score seven goals in all competitions, but the team's overall performance has been underwhelming.
